Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds haricots verts, or green beans, stem ends trimmed
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 large shallots, peeled
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup hazelnuts, preferably blanched

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add haricots verts and 1 tablespoon salt; cook until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, and plunge into an ice-water bath to chill. Drain, and set aside. (This can be done up to a day in advance.)
  • In a medium skillet, melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add shallots, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and cook, turning, until shallots start to brown on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook, turning frequently, until shallots are well browned, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, then cut into slivers.
  • Meanwhile, place hazelnuts (blanched or with skin) in a baking pan; toast in the oven until they darken, 5 to 7 minutes. If using hazelnuts with skin, remove as much of it as possible by rubbing them quickly and vigorously in a dish towel. Crush roughly with the flat side of a knife.
  • In a large skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add haricots verts, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add shallots and hazelnuts; cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a serving dish, and serve.

I couldn't find hazelnuts at my local grocery store, so I used walnuts instead. They were still delicious.

The hazelnuts were a bit too crunchy for my taste, so I chopped them more finely next time.

I was a bit skeptical about the hazelnut-lemon combination, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors worked really well together.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The green beans are perfectly tender and flavorful, and the hazelnuts add a nice crunch.

These green beans were a hit! I loved the combination of flavors and textures from the hazelnuts and the lemon.
